In mid-November, Timberley shows off a proof copy of “Trouble Shooters” before she and Rahn begin final editing of the young adult novel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

BOONE, N.C. (Nov. 26, 2024) \u2013 Local authors Rahn and Timberley Adams have released the second book in their series of young adult novels focusing on teen living and high school sports.<\/p>\n

Published by Gaillardia Press, this second installment is entitled Tales of the Barf Table, Book Two: Trouble Shooters<\/em>, about girls\u2019 basketball and boys\u2019 wrestling. The uplifting and often humorous story also explores teenage issues such as learning whom to trust and whom to love.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really pleased with this story,\u201d said Timberley Adams. \u201cIt offers positive alternatives for dealing with tough situations that many young people face. That\u2019s what we want readers to see in all these books\u2014good role models.\u201d<\/p>\n

The release of Trouble Shooters <\/em>follows the January 2024 publication of the first book in the series, From the Gridiron to the Fire<\/em>, mainly about high school football. Both novels feature a group of misfits who sit together in their school cafeteria at what other kids call the Barf Table.<\/p>\n

From the book\u2019s back cover: \u201cNinth grader Leah Russo has finally found her place at preppy Arbor High\u2014not as a cheerleader or basketball player, but as a sportswriter and photographer for the school newspaper. Still dealing with the death of her big brother, everybody\u2019s hero, Leah accepts help from her diverse circle of friends\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trouble Shooters <\/em>begins at Thanksgiving and ends on Valentine\u2019s Day, and follows the wins and losses of Leah and the Barf Table gang in the school lunchroom, on the basketball court and on the wrestling mat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re already working on Book Three,\u201d said Rahn Adams. \u201cIt\u2019ll close out the three-part series but also the school year at Arbor High, covering boys\u2019 baseball and girls\u2019 softball, as well as other spring sports and events.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tales of the Barf Table<\/em> series and two other children\u2019s titles written solely by Timberley Adams are all published by the couple\u2019s imprint, Gaillardia Press. Timberley\u2019s two children\u2019s books are Turtle Beach<\/em> (2019) and Henry Heron Finds His Home<\/em> (2022).<\/p>\n

The Adamses also are working on a 20th-anniversary edition of their first novel, Night Lights; or, Golf, the Blues, and the Brown Mountain Light<\/em>, first published in December 2004 by Parkway Publishers, Inc.<\/p>\n

Both Rahn and Timberley Adams retired as teachers in Watauga County, after also teaching in Brunswick County. They also coached athletics in both counties. Rahn won tennis coach-of-the-year honors in both the Northwestern and Waccamaw Conferences.<\/p>\n

In addition, the couple have extensive experience in radio and newspaper journalism, having won awards from the North Carolina Press Association, Radio-Television News Directors Association of the Carolinas, and the North Carolina Association of Educators (for outstanding education coverage).<\/p>\n
